Is 108bpm is good or bad. In my ecg report result shows sinus tachycardia. Is it normal or dangerous?

Question

Sinus tachycardia means increased heart rate. I would like to convey here first heart rate is not a static one. It will be varying depending upon various factors like age, physical activity, hydration status, emotional status, personality type, familial and so on. The first thing you have to check is during the time of taking ecg were you undergoing any physical activity for example did you do ecg after climbing up stairs or may be you might have been anxious in front of a lady nurse with bare body or afraid of hospital atmosphere and so on. You can repeat ecg in a completely relaxed state in a relaxed environment and check. If still higher heart rate then you can go for routine blood test since lesser hemoglobin could cause tachycardia and infections can cause it. And later if needed you might have to do thyroid function tests. But before all these better do a consultation because after taking detailed history I can provide you a best solution. Feel free to have a private chat with me and get clarified. I am ready to help you out.
